[PATCHv2 2/4] arm64: Treat handle_arch_irq as a function pointer

[Laura Abbott]

handle_arch_irq isn't actually text, it's just a function
pointer. It doesn't need to be stored in the text section
and doing so causes problems if we ever want to make the
kernel text readonly. Move it to the data section.
